Gregory Peck and Susan Hayward sleepwalk through this insipid, grindingly dull snoozefest. There is zero chemistry between the two leads and little imagination from the director except some obvious attempts to cut corners on the budget. Mostly lots of pious conversations and little action of any kind. A requisite, pompous recitation of Psalm 23 is included, as well as a silly flashback scene of the fight with Goliath tacked on at the end. Even the costumes and art direction were nothing to look at. If you want a halfway decent Biblical B-movie try The Story of Ruth or Solomon and Sheba. This is pure monotony.
